They place the resort inside the protected archipelago, with Ramsar marine areas nearby.

Our read

Six Senses Con Dao puts the villas on a nesting beach and makes the green sea turtle work with the national park part of the stay, not a plaque in the lobby. Fifty pool villas, a fishing-village plan, and a 45-minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City.

Come here for

A pool villa on Dat Doc, not a city hotel with a beach shuttle
Turtle season, if you want the supervised release they describe
An island that is mostly national park

Skip it if

You want restaurants and nightlife outside the gate
A short hop and a full schedule matter more than a small island

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

Six Senses Con Dao sits on Dat Doc Beach, Con Dao. They describe a 45-minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City, and a resort drawn like a fishing village, with reclaimed teak. The accommodation line they publish is 50 private pool villas and residences, a few steps from the beach. Residences are the three- and four-bedroom houses, in separate pavilions, each with a pool. The page that decided the selection is the turtles. With Con Dao National Park they monitor green sea turtle nesting on the beach and move eggs to an incubation centre. In season, they invite guests to supervised hatchling releases. Much of the archipelago is protected, and they note marine areas recognised under the Ramsar Convention. The reservations line on the resort page is +84 28 3823 2229. Book on the Six Senses Con Dao page. MindReach does not take the reservation.
